Britton is so cute! We had our “stuctural” ultrasound today and after a whole bunch of waiting, the procedure took about 8 minutes…but it was great. He was very cooperative and showed the doctor everything he needed to see. Brit has all his fingers and toes, his spine is very healthy and his heart is pumping very well. His hands and feet are soooooo cute! And, it was again confirmed that it is a boy…it was about the first thing he saw when he started.

It was great to see him moving his hands around and towards the end he was wiggling all over the place. His face is pretty adorable too–from what we can tell from a 2-D, black and white shot. Apparently the doc could see his lips and they’re perfect too. I had a hard time seeing what he was talking about for a lot of the shots, but others were pretty clear.

So, after that appointment we had our regular check up, and had to wait there forever too. That’s the frustrating part–waiting for more time than you’re seen. Oh well. Next time I have the glucose/diabetes test where they have to take my blood again. I guess my birthday is in 4 weeks from today, ’cause that’s when the appt. was supposed to be, but they didn’t want to take my blood on my birthday, so I go the day before.

This past week has been pretty busy–we had our trip to Scottsdale, AZ with friends, and that was fun. Who knew it would be 90+ degrees at the end of October? Then Mark and I spent Monday searching for an entertainment center and a smaller desk for him. At last success–at Ikea! The entertainment center is actually a buffet/sideboard for a dining room, but we liked it and it will work.

I can’t believe Halloween came up so fast. Last night we made sugar cookies–the first time I’ve baked in about 4 months, and I was bummed because my pumpkin cutter is missing. Tonight we’re making “Pumpkin Stew” and carving our pumpkin. We doubt we’ll get any trick-or-treaters, but we’re prepared just in case.

We did get a picture of Brit today….I’ll post it later when I get home and get the scanner hooked up.

Happy Halloween!
